‘If Rudiger leaves! as Tuchel tells Chelsea to sign €60m-rated Brazilian player
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel has reportedly told Chelsea the player he needs at Stamford Bridge should the Blues lose Rudiger this summer.
However, The contracts of Antonio Rudiger, Cesar Azpilicueta and Andreas Christensen will expire at the end of the season and Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel is already preparing for the future.
Meanwhile, according to Spanish media outlet AS, Tuchel has asked Chelsea to sign Brazilian and Real Madrid defender Eder Militao.
The Brazilian centre-back has become a regular fixture at the heart of the defence for the current LaLiga leaders, making 30 appearances this season in all competitions.
Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia is reportedly ready to please Tuchel by making a move for the Real Madrid defender at the end of the season.
Militao is currently contracted at the Santiago Bernabeu until 2025, but is said to be one of their lowest earners earning €3million (£2.5m) a year.
Real Madrid signed the Brazilian defender for €50m (£41m) from Porto back in 2019.
After a difficult start to life at Real Madrid, Militao has become a key player in central defence at the Spanish side alongside David Alaba.
Chelsea could find it difficult to persuade Madrid to sell and Militao is happy with life at the team who sit four points clear at the top of LaLiga.
